Bug Description

Maybe i've missed something, but i find choosing a print mode a little bit unfriendly with kde print.

1. Install a printer (mine is hp psc 1350)
2. Open in konqueror something to print (web page, picture, ...)
3. Open the print dialog with file->print...
4. Now I can print in "normal mode" (300dpi), no way to quickly select draft or photo mode.

To print in draft mode, i have to do the following extras steps:

1. Click on the "properties" button right to the printer list
2. Click on "driver configuration" tab
3. Select a "printout mode" from the general's list item which contains draft
4. Click "save" button
5. Click on "print" button

I think user should be able to choose print mode on the first kde print dialog, if nothing is selected, use driver default print mode ("normal" for me, which is a good default value)

It would be nice to choose the print quality in the main window popping up for printing like the number of copies can be chosen.

In KDE4 the paper quality can be chosen directly in the properties windows. That is already an improvement. Is this good enough, or does it have to be in the main print dialogue?

Thanks
